Chewbeads Review & Giveaway! CLOSED!

The winner is...

Congratulations to Crystal of Anonymous Motherhood who won with this comment:

Anonymous Motherhood said...
I liked Chewbeads on FB and told them you sent me


 She's a mother to three kids and a doula, so I know she will get good use out of her Chewbeads!

Thanks to all who participated!

According to my daughter, everything, everything, everything, MUST go in her mouth.  I used to wear a pretty necklace that I bought in Tibet, but whenever I wear it now, my daughter treats it as her own personal chew toy.  Not only is it sentimental to me, but I worry about her safety as she tries to chew on my jewelry. I'm pretty picky about what I let her chew on/play with because of the toxicity in many children's products.

Most days, you will find me plain and sans jewelry because of this.  But I don't want to be a plain, frumpy mom.  That would be sad. 

I recently heard of this great company, Chewbeads, as I saw a photo like this, of beautiful bracelets that were safe for teething!  I loved all the color variety and I knew this would be perfect for my daughter!


I drooled at that rainbow of colors that could match every item of clothing in my closet!

Chewbeads has graciously sent me a beautiful Hudson Necklace to review!
 
India, meet Chewbeads.  Chewbeads, India.
Lovely.

  About Chewbeads:
  • They look like 'real' jewelry - very fashionable
  • No BPA, PVC, Phthlates, Cadmium or Lead
  • Dishwasher safe
  • Made of 100% silicone
  • Soft on her little gums, but not soft enough to chew through
  • Breakaway clasp - no matter how hard she pulls, this necklace doesn't break
  • They feel different (better) than other teething jewelry
  • They keep her from pinching me while nursing (THANK YOU!)
  • It keeps my daughter occupied for long periods of time!

What I think:

I highly recommend these to moms with children of any age!  I think any mom or mom-t-be could greatly benefit from them!  I tried the Chewbeads on three different children, ages 8 months to 22 months, and all children were infatuated with them.  It could definitely be said that I am a fan because of all of the above, but the real test is my daughter, and well...


...she's in love!
